The 1857 Griffith\u2019s valuation of tenements can also supply us with interesting statistics, ie: size of farms, origins and repatriation of people…<\/div>\n
The figures below are rough estimate but does give us a fair idea of the situation in Shrule parish at this time. A more in depth study of the document would be needed to be completely accurate. There were about 356 households in the parish. The parish included 9564 acres.<\/div>\n

1% of the population had 28% of the land (that land was not rented out).<\/h3>\n
There were 4 farms with more than 500 acres, totalling 2648 acres. Their origins were 1 Irish, 1 Scott, 1 Welsh, 1 English. All were owners.<\/div>\n
3% of population having 27% of the land (not rented out).<\/div>\n
There were 10 farms over 100 acres, totalling 2577 acres. Their origins were 3 Irish, 3 English, 4 Normans. 6 were owners, 4 were wealthy tenants.<\/div>\n
Most of the above mentioned owners had purchased their land after 1853, from estates having gone bankrupt.<\/div>\n

2% of population having 5% of the land.<\/h3>\n
There were 8 farms over 50 acres, totalling 483 acres. 1 English, 1 Norman, 6 Irish. All were tenants.<\/div>\n
This made 6% of the population having 60% of the land in the parish for their own use. This leaves 3856 acres for 334 households ie: 11.5 acres per household.<\/div>\n
It is worth mentioning that a large percentage of those 334 households rented more than 15 acres, leaving others with very little.<\/div>\n
Many of the tenants in Shrule town did not rent any land.<\/div>\n
The population in all the townlands of Shrule parish was well mixed, there was no settlement of planters… in any part of the parish.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
